Centilli ************************************ [Verse 1] Am With a coat of silver-slick G The steed was lightning quick C We'd run through the night Em And hide in the light Am But we never tired of it Am We didn't need much G Guitar in hand and a six-shot touch C Down the road Em We would go Am Earning a bit of gold [Chorus] F I'd sing for our dinner C She'd dance for our drink G Pass my hat for tips Am Just enough for what we need F I'd sing for our dinner C She'd dance for our drink G Pass my hat for tips Am Get us through another week [Verse 2] Am Down the path to the next little town G Where booze was flowing all around C Some got wild Em Some got hurt Am Someone rode away with her Am I drew the Colt from my belt G With one shot put him in hell C The others ran Em They got scared Am They never knew how I felt [Chorus] F I sang for our dinner C She danced for our drink G Passed my hat for tips Am But never did we sleep F I sang for our dinner C She danced for our drink G Then we got out of there Am Before they came after me [Verse 3] Am We got hit at the edge of town G Sheriff and his boys were all around C Shots were fired Em Some of them fell Am I was hit and it burned like hell Am We didn't have much G Rations were slim there was —blood in my clutch C The steed was fine Em I was hurt Am Closed my eyes and left this earth [Chorus] F I'd sing for our dinner C She'd dance for our drink G Earned enough for a pine box Am So she could bury me F I'd sing for our dinner C She'd dance for our drink G The blonde-haired bandit Am Saddled up my steed [Outro] Am With a coat of silver-slick G The steed was lightning quick C She'd run through the night Em And hide in the light Am But she never tired of it
